I get where this is coming from, but all the same it is not very useful to the end user, given that the title of the document is "7. How to get best performance with NICs on Intel platforms". One would expect some accurate and actionable advice on how to get the best performance.

Obviously performance is application dependent, but all things being equal one would with good reason expect the underlying hardware to affect the performance. If it does not, why are magnitudes of difference being reported on per core Mpps performance?
What I am trying to find out is, which factors *do* matter.
Is there really no data or experience based knowledge about hardware forwarding performance out there, or is everybody supposed to find out things by trial and error?
